Is that still a commitment? Is that still an aim? I am being parochial about this. Kildare has one pool for every 105,000 of population, which is more than double the target. Is there any prospect of funding becoming available for such a location, where there is a population that is large enough to support a pool and where it would be financially viable? Will the Minister of State insist on a use-or-lose-it clause at any point in the case of local authorities that cannot come up with the matching funding?
